On the matter of gender, raised early in the thread There were a couple of male tailors in the area, first generation Carribbean, I think there was a time when many emigrated with these skills Go back 60 years and you may have had a suit made by a Jewish male tailer in the East End Not sure if it is common to have males in this field of work nowadays although I expect Saville Row is still male dominated. -
I was at Brockwell Park greenhouses very recently, they don't have any plants for sale which are suitable for my purpose (though that's not why I went there). I'd be very surprised if the Marsden Road place did either, as I need a fairly large prickly shrub! Thanks, I used the term nursery a bit too loosely, sorry. I did mean including garden centres. Your post is useful, thanks. I'm not looking for anything unusual though, just a prickly shrub to deter cats! Much as I love unusual plants, I only have a very small garden. Many of my plants (some unusual and some I had had for years) have disappeared due to wood pigeons trampling everything under my bird feeders in their quest to eat anything edible dropped by smaller birds using the feeders 😭 -

If you mean proper nurseries where they grow plants and not just garden centres there are several on Woodmansterne Lane just south of Wallington. I prefer going there as you get a lot of plants you don't see in garden centres. The two I go to most often are Flittons https://www.flittons.com/ and Barnes https://www.barnesnurseries.co.uk/. There are a few others on the same road and a large Dobbies if you want a garden centre that sells other things. -

Went to Nunhead Gardener this week. Very good selection of healthy plants, indoor and out.
